LOWER COST OF WHEAT PRODUCTION,
The St. Paul Pioneer Press notes that
| its plea for better and more economical
methods OF farming Is repeatcd and en-
/ forced by those VINO are quite familiar
with the condition OF the agricultural
community The following statement is
| from the columns of the Farmer:
| Not all farmers go into bankruptcy at
| wheat raising, even 81 present prices, and
| some actually make money with wheat at
| 80 cents a bushel. "buIl' on The Chi
cago board of trade may be well posted
AID speak within bounds of his own eXpe-
! rience, when he states that wheat cannot
| be produced for 40 cents per buShel IN
/ Dakota. However, g representative OF
| the Farmer, few days ego, visited q
large, model Dakota farm, the GrGndin
| Bros farm al Mayville, Trail county,
where far better results are obtained.
! w. W. Warren, Esq general manager,
| ,urteouSly exhibited some figures, which,
without giving in detail, we may say
amount to this: that crop of something
over l50, 900 bushels Of wheat, averaging
nearly twenty-five bushels per acre, costs,
| from time of seeding until stored in ele
vators Including interest on capital,
wear on machinery, wages, incidentals,
etc. little less than "a cents per
bushel. While the soil and location of
this farm is excellent, we know of NO
special superiority of quality above good,
average Re- River valley soil. The re-
suits are the legitimate reward OF bust
ness methods and thorough system, from
breaking to marketing.
The ST.. Paul journal named adds that
if tn" farmer loses st one end he must
! try 10 gain at the other. If wheat has
fallen in the worlds markets, he must
make GOOD the deficit by decreasing the
cost of production. The thing can be
done by increasing the Weld per sC:e. Ia
estimating, cost Of production, the cost of
labo" il piowing, seeding, harvesting.
tSrashing ana marketing, per acre, are
added together. The total is divided by
the average yield per acre, giving the
average cost Of production per 5usael.

A Great Victory
Il Terrible Case OF scrofula.
Cured by
Hoods SarsaparIlla

In the winter Of 1879 I was attacked With
Scrofula in one Of the most a~ggravating forms.
At one time I hadn less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years Of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation Of w. J..
Huntley, druggist, Of Lockport, I was induced
to try Hoods S~arsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less.' lido not know what it may
have done for others, but I do know that in
my case, HOODS Sarsaparilla has proved an
my. gratitude I send these facts unsolicited,
and I am ready to verify the authenticity Of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it," CHARLES A. Ron
ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.
This statement is confirmed by w. J.. Hunt
ley, druggist, of Lockport, N. r., who calls the
cure a great victory for Hoods Sarsaparilla.

RULED BY PREJUDICE

Few persons realize how thoroughly
they are controlled by prejudice even to
their own disadvantage. For many years
the treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia,
s~ciatica and headache has been by some
outward application, and, therefore, with
out stopping to think that the origin Of
these troubles nust, from necessity, be in
ternal, the weary sufferer continues to rub,
rub and find no relief. Athlophorosi is taken
internally, and as a proof that this is the
correct principle, it cures surely and
quickly. The statement of those who
have been cured ought to convince the in
credulous.
Palmyra, Neb., Aug. Sd, 1886.
I believe I have been greatly benefited
by A%thlophoros. I keep it in the house
all the time, and if feel a twinge of rheu-
matism I take q dose. I have not had to
take any for months, and hope I am per-
manently cured. l have not hesitated to
recommend it largely and have helped
others with it. Rev. E. j. BIRD.
Mrs. Geo. Hoffman, Cedar Falls, Iowa,
says: "My husband was cured of rheuma&
tism by the use of A%thlophoros. Three bot
ties of that medicine cured him entirely SO
thatheha not had an ache romrheumatism
since, and that is now over a year ago. For
twenty years previous there was never a
timethat he was free from pain. Doctors nor
medicine could drive the disease away.
1t was the sciatic rheumatism in his right
leg, h edoctors said he would always haveit
astheyd did notthink there was any cure. He
was suffering very much from a severe at
tack but the Athlophoros took hold ofthe
disease at once, and by the time he had
used three bottles he was entirely well and
has been ever since. @

MAPLE SUGAR.

MAPLE SUGAR.
We're 1 to select a tree from which I
could make maple sugar as white as
snow [ should take a second growth,
standing in or neal a very cold spring
coming out of dry land, with no other
trees near, and having a Southeastern
exposure. All the above are natural
conditions. Now, with the knowledge
of the internal makeup of the tree, l
would tap it with a three-eighths inch
bit through the last years growth of
wood, or about one-fourth of an inch,
directly after a snowstorm and freeze,
at the maximum flow, using the Ohio
improved tin spout and a metallic buck
ct having a v painted white, which
will keep out all storms and reflect or
radiate the rays of the sun, keeping the
sap cool, which my experience indicates
is very Important, All ice formed in
the buckets should be gathered and put
into the store-tubs and when there is
none shovel in clean snow. and when
this fails get ice from the ice-house, pro-
vided it is clean. Sap should never be
stored in the room where it is boiled.
Sap should be gather and boiled at once
directly to sugar without stopping to
strain, cool and settle, if extreme white
ness is Extraordinarily Wheeler, in

TREE wH1TEwAsH.
I have found a whitewash that is
however, not exactly pure white, but,
one that will stick. 1t may be made
as follows: Stake half a bushel of stone
lime in hot water. When done, pour
in two gallons of clear grease of any
kind and hot water enough to thor.
oughly mix. Finish by adding enough
water to make a barrel. For each
gallon of the grease, a gallon of coal
tar may be substituted, with good
results. The addition of the grease
was suggested by seeing the brief state
ment somewhere that ''potash and
grease make soft soap, and soda and
grease hard soap, and lime and grease
insoluble soap" Some tree trunks
treated to u white-wash made as above,
subjected since to three OF four heavy
rains, retain it like oil paint.-Corres.

INDIVIDUALITY OF FOwLs.
Fowls have a marked Individuality.
In a flock of Plymouth Rocks, the
members of which, to the careless
observer, look as near alike as the peas
in a peck measure, the owner
select and call by its lame each one.
The study of these individual traits,
the idiosyncracies of each fowl, is not
only interesting and, like virtue, it's
own exceeding great reward, but it il
profitable in a pecuniary sense. Such
knowledge enables the owner to select
for breeding purposes not only the in
dividuals which. score the highest,
but those which are of the quietest
disposition, which are the most pro-
life, and which in other ways possess
those qualities which it is desirable
should be perpetuated. A hen'srecord
on eggs is in the last analysis of great
er Importance than her score made up
from only exterior qualities.-H. S.
